First ride out was 200 miles for breakfast…and so far it was pretty comfortable

Thanks to $pringer, 97FXSTSB, and skullhead for the inspiration. Also thanks to everyone in my “goofed up wiring” thread for the info on getting everything straight.

The Chubbys look great 04! My throttle touches too but hasn't been a problem. Nice job!

HarleyCanada: The bars are wild 1 chubby drags for springers. Model number W0512. The drag bars with the integrated riser for 299 should also work with stock cables (from what I have been told). But these definately do. Actually they come out a little mong, so I will probably redo the cables soon too.

Thanks!!!!

Got a set, and they are now on my 04 Springer! Could not be happier!!!!!!!!!!!! Only thing is had to do a quick mod to back a small bracket to bring the front signals out forward a bit, so they would not hit my tank on both sides!!!!!! Dig'em! Thanks so much for your help!

looks great. what's the width on those?

I'd also probably go with the 6" or 8" risers (like you're considering), but I'd also
probably look for a bit more pullback. I guess you can get a little more pullback
depending on which risers you end up going with?

I did that exact thing a couple of weeks ago. Tomorrow I'll see if I can take some pics and post them for you. I really like them with the pull-back risers.
